Pros: damn near water tight, twice the cargo capacity, factory rails accessible, could camp in it, windows removable for dogs, rear window rolls up or removes for long items, folds against cab for tall items, place to hang out when it rains
cons: not lockable, fabric that can be cut, windows must be removed and stored to fold, back window collects dirt like a hatchback

Both cost between $550 and $600. I paid less than $600 for each, but forget the price. I googled both until I found the lowest price. The BakFlip was at an introductory/sale price and went up after I bought it.

Not really. More or less the same before a cover, with the hard tonneau cover, and with the canopy. The BakFlip went on within a month or two so I never really noticed if the truck got better mileage without it once it was broken in. However, when the BakFlip broke and was removed I didn't notice any change. I had at least 1 full tank between covers, and I still get between 17 and 18mpg.

I got an Undercover tonneau (installed it was $648) and I HAVE noticed a bump in my gas mileage. Before I was getting around 21.5 - 22 on the highway - last tank was 23.7 highway. I've only got 4K on the truck so far - so I'm hoping that improves as the engine gets broken in.

I think the prerunner should be getting just over 20mpg anyway, so it could just be the truck getting broken in. You won't really know because you put it on before the truck was broken in. (Forget the 500 miles the manual says... It doesn't really settle down and smooth out until at least 5,000 miles.)
